Itinerary

Day 1
Upon arrival in El Calafate, you will be taken to your selected hotel. We highly recommend visiting the birds reserve Nimez Lagoon for a sunset. A nice place for a tasty meal is The Shackleton Lounge (named after the famous explorer Ernest Shackleton) which offers views of the lake.  

Day 2
After an early breakfast, you will leave on a full day excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier. Inside Los Glaciares National Park, you will take the route surrounding Lago Argentino where 80km from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier lies with its imposing 60-meter high ice walls. Follow the paths that lead you to face of the glacier where you can get an impressive view of it. If you are lucky you may witness ice fragments breaking off with a thunder and falling into the lake. Return to the hotel in the evening. Local restaurants offer great quality food and friendly service. We recommend trying the famous “Cordero al Asador”.
